So much has been accomplished. Lillian Walsh has stepped out courageously beyond what she'd ever dreamed of being able to achieve. Two years ago, she was an only child, living in a big house with her adoptive parents. Now, she shares the large home with her newly rediscovered sister, Grace, and the orphaned children to whom Grace has devoted her life. But then the letter arrives - an official complaint revoking the sisters' permission to manage their little children's home.

When Silver Fox learns to farm like the white men, and embraces their beliefs, Running Fawn suddenly finds herself alone - clinging to the traditions of her people.

Christian Historical Fiction
It took me a bit to get into this book, but now I wish it was not over!
So much faith in both the good times and bad! So much sacrifice and love for one's "enemies" it could only come from God!
The narration was ideal! Emotional when needed. I couldn't ask for a better narrator for these English and French characters who are both military and civilians, commoners and wealthy. 5 stars!

Story Of how enemy's only exist when we create them ourselves. God's work through love can remove the walls created by man. Lovely, yet so sad story of 2 families separated by man's fear of his own weakness.
